A Crown of Lights Summary

A Crown of Lights by Phil Rickman

Single mother and Diocesan Exorcist Merrily Watkins must keep the peace in rural Hereford, quelling a modern witch hunt, and a killer with an old tradition to guard...

Ancient history, violent deaths, feuds, intrigues and murder. A most original sleuth. - The Times

When a pagan couple buy a ruined church on the Welsh Border, there's an extreme reaction from the local fundamentalist priest. Is it a hate campaign or a nightmarish modern witch-hunt? Merrily Watkins is sent in to keep the lid on the cauldron and uncovers the sinister dynamics of the isolated village of Old Hindwell.

A Crown of Lights Reviews

A highly sophisticated crime novel, unlike almost anything else in the genre. Grips like a clamp. Rickman makes us care about his characters . . . is brilliant at dialogue. * Crime Time *
A steaming brew that teeters on the edge of real violence. * Tribune *
Utterly convincing. Although you might not find the portrayal of fanatics on either side of the spiritual divide entirely appealing, you'll have difficulty denying they exist. * Pagan Dawn *
